Ya, libvf.io works on nearly all recent Nvidia consumer cards with the exception of Ampere. The same goes for Intel GPUs like the DG1/DG2. There is no need to use a server card. Edit: There's not really an explicit need to trick the card. Nvidia co-wrote the VFIO-Mdev API with Intel and RedHat which is what we use. If you want to use the optional nv merged driver package that will do some of the things you mention but it's not required.
